Description
In the sunlit Basque coastal city of San Sebastián, Dublin pathologist Quirke tries to let the sea air and his wife’s company loosen the grip of his restless mind. But a chance encounter draws him back toward the past he can’t quite outrun, and a call home sets in motion an investigation that reaches far beyond holiday romance. As Detective St. John Strafford arrives and a ruthless killer closes in, Quirke finds himself entangled in a tightening web of identity, memory, and moral consequence. With John Banville’s signature lyrical precision and dark, atmospheric suspense, this novel explores the shadows beneath reinvention—where love, trauma, and the search for truth collide with lethal intent.
